IXcellerate has announced its plans to build a sustainable data center campus at a newly secured location in the south of Moscow. The company labelled this expansion the most significant investment in its 10-year history in Russia. Southern campus will unite several data centers starting with Moscow Five (MOS5), providing clear visibility for hypercloud clients of considerable expansion. Its power capacity will be more than 200MW, with a design capacity of approximately 20,000 rack spaces. The first phase is slated for commissioning in Q3/Q4 2021. IXcellerate data centers are designed to accommodate modern high-load servers and infrastructure for ultra-dense computing in accordance with the Tier III / Level 3 reliability level. During construction, the company said it is planned to use the best energy-efficient and engineering solutions, including a number of green technology initiatives.
Tandem with sustainability, data sovereignty is a major issue across the planet and our datacenters allow companies to fully comply with privacy and localization laws whilst also providing the fastest, lowest latency access possible to Russia’s over 100 million Internet users. Combined with IXcellerate’s innovative Eurasia Peering Internet exchange platform, customers of the new data centers will be able to connect to over 200 networks. Russian capital is taking an increasingly important place in the global data-centric economy. Moscow is one of the TOP-5 largest data centre markets in Europe in terms of energy capacity and is a key telecom hub on the way from Asia to Europe. By the end of 2021, the IT load of all Moscow commercial data centers will be about 260MW. We are building a giant ecosystem that combines a powerful infrastructure, high customer focus, neutrality and unlimited scalability.
